Speaker wire... Diy?

I am new to this, so please bare with me. I always thought 12 gauge speaker wire, bare on each end, was best. But there is Kimber, Nord, etc, that seem to be incrementally better! Can I buy the components and put together my own $17000 speaker wires? If so, where can they be purchased, and which are good enough to be used? Which terminations are best for sound? Which wire? Length? Guage?

geoffkait,

I swim well with it. Very well.

Anyways, please do not touch high-voltage lines, no matter how unimportant that voltage is.

This is an amazing thread based upon a guy who is looking for $17K speakers cables.  Am I the only guy to see this as query designed to pull our chains!  What am in missing here?

This isn't to pull any chains. I'm interested in getting music to sound as good as possible.

Go to a live acoustic concert. HiFi is a 1% solution.
